It is believed that if too many eyes look at a
tree that it will either die or not produce fruit. This is
why most people sitting under a tree in a village are not looking
up into the tree as they talk, but rather out in the distance.

In the villages, it is the popular belief that
if you take some of the dry matter from the corner of a dog's eye
and put it in your own, that you will see demons. Please, do
not ever try this (it is not safe, hygienic, or wise), but if you
do, you are advised to try only one eye at first and to have soap
and water at hand to wash it out in a hurry if the experience
proves too scary for you. You have been warned!

Because the
weather year-round is often sunny, we actually
consider rainy days to be "good
weather", and an extended period of sunny
days (especially during the rainy season) as
"bad weather".

Among the Moukoulou people, there is no stealing. If by
chance a thief comes to steal the goods of another, it is
impossible for them to do so. The owner will find the thief
frozen in place with his hands on the things that he tried to
steal. The margay (the local god) protects the goods of
those who worship him. And a brother from the same clan must
never be disciplined by his brothers. If there is, death
will follow. (from Guezione

femmes)
